Ethereum Foundation departures: Beek and Ma exit amid Protocol changes

Fresh Ethereum Foundation departures are drawing attention well beyond staffing news. Carl Beek and Julian Ma, two researchers tied to core protocol work, are both leaving the organization at a moment when Ethereum is pushing through major technical changes and internal leadership reshuffles.　　The timing matters. Ethereum‘s development model is broader than the foundation itself, but the Ethereum Foundation departures still carry weight because they involve people who worked on research areas central to scaling, cryptoeconomics, and the network’s long-term roadmap.　　Carl Beek will leave the Ethereum Foundation on May 29 after seven years at the organization. Julian Ma is also exiting after about four years. Their departures land amid wider Protocol Cluster changes, adding to a year in which several high-profile transitions have already become public.　　Two researchers are leaving the Ethereum Foundation　　Beek‘s final day is set for May 29, closing a seven-year run at the Ethereum Foundation. Over that period, he worked on core Ethereum research, including the Beacon Chain, one of the most important pieces of the network’s proof-of-stake era.　　Ma is also leaving the foundation after about four years. His work focused on mechanism design, cryptoeconomics, and protocol scaling, areas that sit close to some of Ethereums hardest engineering and

Tesla Stock Analysis: 5 Key Levels at 408–412

TSLA — daily chart with candlesticks, EMA20/EMA50 and volume.Tesla Stock Daily Uptrend: Key Levels and Momentum　　On the daily timeframe, TSLA trades above its EMA20 408.32, EMA50 398.63, and EMA200 389.03. Trading above all three keeps the primary trend bullish. RSI14 52.68 shows positive, not stretched, momentum. MACD 13.49 sits above the 11.28 signal with a +2.21 histogram. The impulse is bullish, yet its size argues for a modest push.　　Meanwhile, the Bollinger mid-band stands at 402.19 with bands near 452.12 and 352.27. Price near the mid-band indicates mid-range positioning within a wide envelope. ATR14 17.8 keeps daily swings elevated and can shake weak hands. Price closed just below the daily pivot around 412–412.15, with R1 418.97 and S1 403.17. Sellers showed up near 412, and those levels frame todays risk.　　1H Intraday Bias: Soft Momentum Within Broader Uptrend　　However, the 1H chart weakens the bullish tone. Price at 410.07 sits below the EMA20 421.15 and EMA50 423.23, while above the EMA200 401.66. The short-term trend is down inside a larger uptrend. RSI14 33.1 is weak and near oversold. MACD -7.28 is below its -5.00 signal with a -2.28 histogram.　　In contrast, Bollinger metrics keep the bias defensive. The mid sits at 425.71 with a

BNB Chain Quantum Defense Works In Test, But Transactions Become Much Slower

BNB Chain just tested new security that would protect it from future super-powerful quantum computers. It worked, but the network ran about 40% slower because the new security made every transaction much bigger.　　The BNB Chain team shared the results in a report this week. The new code passed the test, but each transaction grew about 35 times larger than before, which clogged the network during stress runs.　　Bigger Signatures Mean Smaller Blocks　　Each transaction needs a digital signature to prove it is real. Today that signature is 65 bytes. With the new quantum-safe method, the signature jumps to 2,420 bytes.　　The change is needed because future quantum computers could one day crack the math behind most modern blockchains.　　Bigger signatures take up more space in each block. Speed dropped from 4,973 transactions per second to 2,997 in cross-region tests. That hits BNB Chains stated TPS goals for the year.　　The discussion also covered why BNB Chain is investing heavily into infrastructure upgrades.　　The goal this year:　　• Increase throughput from 6,000 TPS to 20,000 TPS　　• Continue reducing latency and improving finality　　• Build infrastructure that can support both retail and…　　Smart contract activity slowed less, since those transactions are already large.　　The Voting Part Still Works Fast　　Validators are the computers

SEC prepares plan for trading tokenized stocks this week

Wall Streets biggest exchanges are gearing up to let investors trade tokenized versions of traditional stocks. The SEC is preparing to formalize a framework for how these digital securities will operate within existing market infrastructure.　　Whats actually happening　　The SEC has already laid significant groundwork here. Back on March 18, the agency approved a Nasdaq rule change that allows certain stocks and ETFs to be traded and settled in tokenized form alongside their traditional counterparts.　　The scope of that approval isnt small. It covers Russell 1000 stocks, which represent the thousand largest publicly traded US companies. It also extends to ETFs linked to major benchmarks like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.　　The SEC also released a “Statement on Tokenized Securities” that draws a clear line in the sand. Existing federal securities laws apply fully to tokenized instruments. No special exemptions from registration. No workarounds on reporting obligations. A tokenized share of Microsoft is still a security, and it still has to play by the same rules as a regular share of Microsoft.　　The exchange arms race　　Nasdaq isnt the only one making moves. The NYSE is developing its own tokenized securities trading platform, with ambitions that go further than what Nasdaq has rolled out so

Echo Protocol Suffers $76M eBTC Minting Attack

It was an admin private key breach, not a smart contract fault, according to blockchain developer ‘Marioo.’Twelve protocols, including THORChain, Ekubo, TrustedVolumes, Transit Finance, and the Ethereum bridge of Verus Protocol, have been hacked in the last month.　　DeFi protocol Echo Protocol, which runs on the Monad blockchain, was compromised when an attacker minted around 1,000 eBTC without authorization. On Tuesday, the hacker created 1,000 synthetic Bitcoin (eBTC) with a value of around $76.7 million; both Lookonchain and analytics platform and blockchain security company PeckShield reported this.　　Echo Protocol said on Tuesday:　　“We are currently investigating a security incident impacting the Echo bridge on Monad. All cross-chain transactions remain suspended while the investigation is underway.”　　Twelve protocols, including THORChain, Ekubo, TrustedVolumes, Transit Finance, and the Ethereum bridge of Verus Protocol, have been hacked in the last month, with this recent vulnerability being the latest in the series.　　Laundering Stolen Funds　　The perpetrator allegedly tried to conceal some of the stolen funds by funding the DeFi lending and liquidity management protocol Curvance with 45 eBTC, which is about $3.45 million, as reported by PeckShield.　　The criminal then borrowed 11.3 wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) tokens, which were valued $868,000, bridged the tokens to Ethereum, exchanged them for Ethereum, and sent

Echo Protocol Hack Drains $816K After Fake eBTC Mint

The Echo Protocol attacker minted 1,000 fake eBTC worth $76.6 million.The attack was a result of hackers compromising an admins private key.Security researchers estimated actual losses near $816,000 due to weak liquidity.　　Bitcoin DeFi protocol Echo Protocol suffered a major exploit after an attacker gained control of the protocols admin private key and minted 1,000 unauthorized eBTC on the Monad blockchain.　　The fake mint carried a paper value of roughly $76.64 million. Most of the tokens remain stranded in the attackers wallet due to weak liquidity across Monad-based DeFi markets.　　The exploit adds to a growing wave of DeFi attacks this month. May has already recorded at least 14 separate crypto hacks across protocols and bridges.　　Attacker Used Fake eBTC as Loan Collateral　　Blockchain investigators tracked the attackers movements shortly after the exploit surfaced. The wallet deposited 45 eBTC, worth around $3.45 million, into lending protocol Curvance as collateral. Against that position, the attacker borrowed 11.29 WBTC worth roughly $867,000.　　The borrowed Bitcoin was bridged to Ethereum, swapped into ETH, then moved through Tornado Cash. On-chain data showed 384 ETH, worth about $822,000 at the time, entering the mixer.　　The attacker still controls 955 eBTC valued at nearly $73 million on paper. Those tokens are not backed

XRP as a Shock Absorber: Can Ripples Liquidity Rails Bridge the JGB Crisis Gap?

Japan‘s 30-year government bond yield surpassed 4% for the first time since the instrument’s creation in 1999, reaching approximately 4.2% in May 2026, as the Bank of Japans sustained rate normalization program continues to unwind the decades-long yen carry trade that had quietly financed risk assets like XRP across global markets.　　Japanese institutional investors sold close to $29.6 billion in US debt during the first quarter of 2026, the largest quarterly liquidation since 2022, contributing to a US 30-year Treasury yield that breached 5% in the same week, compressing liquidity conditions across mortgages, corporate credit, and sovereign debt simultaneously.　　Source: TE　　Analyst Catalina Castro, writing to a wide audience, framed the dynamic with pointed arithmetic: Japan sells American bonds, American yields rise further, mortgages rise, credit becomes more expensive, and pressure accumulates across the entire US financial system.　　This is not simply a domestic Japanese bond correction. It is a structural stress event in the global liquidity transmission chain – one that exposes a fundamental inefficiency that Ripple and XRP were, architecturally, designed to address.　　We suspect the JGB crisis will prove to be the most consequential real-world stress test that Ripples settlement infrastructure has yet encountered, not because XRP can absorb a $9 trillion
